Chocolate Cookie Base

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugars

    In a large bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

  6. 6

    Fold in Chocolate Chips

    Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

  7. 7

    Scoop Dough

    Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  8. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.

  9. 9

    Cool

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
